Elin Vatn, senior interior architect and project lead, stated, 'We hope that we have created homes that users want to take care of so that they have a longer lifespan than such homes generally have today.' This reflects a commitment to design that encourages residents to maintain their living spaces.
The choice of materials, including solid wood, brick, and concrete, was based on rigorous physical testing for attributes such as resistance to impacts and vandalism, ensuring durability while also providing an aesthetically pleasing design.
By incorporating fixed, durable furniture instead of easily replaceable items, the Karmøy Pilot Homes aim to lower operating costs and promote longevity in both structure and furnishings.
The design process took into account the specific behavioral needs of residents, addressing issues like object hoarding and the indoor use of open flames, shaping floor plans and technical installations to enhance safety and comfort.
